William Monk Gibbon (1896-1987) was a poet and writer who used experiences from his life in his writing. Aside from his autobiographical writing, he wrote everything from travel books and literary criticism to books on ballet. I have just written an Irish Diary about his life and times in the Irish Times newspaper. Read it here.
If you would like to hear what he spoke like, there is an interview with Gibbon from 1971 on the RTÉ Archives website. You can watch it here.
